If the measure is approved, it will set it as a San Francisco policy that corporations are not persons.

Support

Proposition G has been endorsed by the editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle, writing, "Normally, declarations of policy such as Prop. G don't have much punch. These measures are nonbinding, amount to only a snapshot of voter mood, and may divert City Hall from more important chores. But on this topic, embodied in the Citizens United decision rendered in 2010, San Francisco should join other cities and states in sending an unmistakable message. Elections shouldn't be tainted by heavy-spending sources leaning on free speech guarantees. Corporations aren't people and should be governed by campaign finance laws."[1]

Text of measure

The question on the ballot:

Proposition G: "Motion ordering submitted to the voters a policy declaration that supports limits on political campaign contributions and spending; and opposes artificial corporate rights, and giving corporations the same rights entitled to human beings."[2]
